Setting Up and Configuring Power Management

Administrators most commonly assign power management permissions to users and configure ports for power management using the Web Manager. However, the OSD also offers menus for configuring power management on local devices.

Two types of power management can be set up and configured on the KVM/ net:

•Power management of any device plugged into an PM connected to the AUX port.

See “Controlling Power Through the Web Manager IPDU Power Management Forms” on page 41.

•Power management while accessing a server connected to a KVM port and plugged into an PM connected to the AUX port.

See “Controlling Power While Connected to KVM Ports” on page 41.

The following set up and configuration tasks must be performed for both types of power management:
